Malaysia accommodation

The lovely Liu Men Hotel Malacca has a history almost as rich as the UNESCO World Heritage city it calls home. Once six individual shop-houses, it was converted into a single-family residence for a wealthy tycoon in the 1930s.

On the northern tip of Cenang Beach, the Pelangi Resort is fronted by a long stretch of white sand and has grounds filled with lakes and gardens.

Built in 1903 and reopened after extensive renovations in 2010, Campbell House is one of George Town’s original hotels.

With 121 rooms, suites and villas, all with views of tropical rainforest or the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, the Datai is a truly luxurious getaway amid the natural splendour of Langkawi.

Inspired by Kuala Lumpur's history with natural resources, the RuMa is an urban resort with a difference, featuring copper panelled ceilings paired with rattan and teak furniture.

Set beside the Tembeling River in the ancient Taman Negara National Park, the Mutiara Resort provides a comfortable base for exploring this extraordinary jungle wilderness.

Situated on the banks of the Malacca River, the Casa Del Rio pays architectural homage to the UNESCO World Heritage City’s Portuguese past.

Pangkor Laut is a privately-owned island five kilometres off the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, in the Malacca Straits, and easily one of the most exclusive retreats in Southeast Asia.

Established in 1885 by the Sarkies brothers of Raffles fame, the Eastern & Oriental (or E&O as it’s affectionately known by its devotees) harks back to the romance of the colonial era.

Stylish and boutique, the KL Journal is easily one of the hippest hotels in the city, situated in the heart of Bukit Bintang.

Benefitting from a superb location between white sand beaches and tropical jungle, the Ritz-Carlton carefully balances an appreciation of its natural surroundings with contemporary style and elements of traditional Malay culture.

Chic and sophisticated, the Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur is one of our favourite bases from which to explore the city.
